Kansas Is Home To A Massive Christmas Warehouse That Makes Holiday Shopping Magical

More than 40 kinds of poinsettias fill one holiday shop, and some of them aren’t red or white at all. That alone made me look twice. The same place has been spraying fake snow onto real trees since 1964. Every winter, the greenhouses glow with twinkle lights from floor...

Fast-food chain has closed two Johnson County restaurants. More remain open

Arby’s has shut down two of its restaurants in Johnson County, leaving a suburb with just one location remaining. Two Arby’s restaurants in Olathe have closed: 13790 S. Black Bob Road and 18615 W. 151st St. Signs direct customers to the remaining Olathe spot: 18060 W. 119th St. Arby’s has yanked the addresses of both closed locations from its website. The Star contacted Arby’s parent company, Inspire Brands, for comment. The company did not respond Wednesday. Flynn Group, a popular franchisee with dozens of Kansas locations, also did not respond. There does not appear to be any other affected locations. Managers at several different Johnson County locations said they had not been alerted of a closure. About 14 Arby’s locations remain in the metro. Spots in Johnson County include: 15021 Metcalf Ave. in Overland Park, 9525 Santa Fe Drive in Overland Park and 11445 W. 63rd St. in Shawnee. No national closings have been reported this month, but late last year, Arby’s quietly closed dozens of locations after sales dropped by more than 6%, according to reporting from TheStreet. Arby’s has been serving roast-beef sandwiches, curly fries and shakes since its inception in 1964.

We asked Kansas voters at the polls about Hamilton & Sen. Marshall. Here's what they said

After months of debates, rallies, heated campaigning and a late national spotlight, voters in Wyandotte and Johnson counties turned out in earnest Tuesday to weigh in on Kansas’ U.S. Senate seat. The race between incumbent Republican Sen. Roger Marshall and Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton has been hotly contested in recent months and even drew visits from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who aimed to boost Marshall as polls showed Hamilton gaining ground. Polling has shown a tight race, which in itself was remarkable for a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1932. The Star spoke with 16 voters in the two counties throughout Tuesday morning and afternoon, six in Wyandotte County and 10 in Johnson County. The decidedly unscientific results: Seven said they voted for Marshall, four said they voted for Hamilton, four declined to say whom they voted for and one said he voted for a write-in candidate. Here’s how voters at polling sites throughout the two counties were thinking about the race on Election Day. Views from the polls on Election Day Marshall supporters Amy and Thomas Drinnon, of Kansas City, Kansas, said they were anti-abortion and said the issue was

Paul Rudd, Overland Park get a shout-out when CNN announces Adam Hamilton victory

Welp, we did not have “Paul Rudd” on our election night bingo card. But the “Ant-Man” actor scored a surprise shout-out as Jake Tapper on CNN announced that Adam Hamilton defeated Kansas Senator Roger Marshall in a shocking win Tuesday. Tapper threw the live coverage to Hamilton headquarters in Overland Park, “the home of Paul Rudd,” he said. Rudd, born in New Jersey, spent much of his childhood in Johnson County then studied theater at the University of Kansas. And Tapper would know that because the CNN anchor is a regular celebrity guest at Big Slick, the annual Children’s Mercy fundraiser that Rudd co-hosts. In October, Rudd co-hosted a get-out-the-vote event in New York with “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The event raised money for Latino Victory Project and Onward Together , nonprofit groups that work on voter mobilization and getting people involved in the political process. Jimmy Fallon, Adam Scott and Rita Wilson were among the celebrities who participated.

Johnson County voters led a ‘blue wave' in Kansas, further shifting to the left

Just 10 years ago, Donald Trump headlined a Republican sweep of the federal offices on the ballot in Johnson County. Since then, the suburban Kansas City county’s electorate has continued a yearslong trend of turning the previously purple county solidly blue. As a nationwide “blue wave” led to a hugely successful midterm election for Democratic candidates, Johnson County’s voters spearheaded the shift to the left in Kansas. Along with historically Democratic Wyandotte County, the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro has cemented itself as the political party’s stronghold in Kansas. An easy answer for the ongoing shift would be Republican President Donald Trump’s unpopularity, high gas prices and a war with Iran. But Deann Mitchell, chair for the Johnson County Democratic Party, said years of strategizing campaigns and recruiting pragmatic leaders to represent the party led to the historic election night. “It’s been 10 years of continuous work to turn Johnson County blue,” Mitchell said. At the forefront of the county’s Democratic push was wide support for Leawood pastor Adam Hamilton, who received more votes in the county than any candidate — even more than five-time elected Democratic U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids. Hamilton defeated incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Roger

Tuesday, Ottawa voters decided to limit the size of any data centers in the city limits, to 25 megawatts or less. The group Ottawa United wrote the ordinance that was passed and even though the issue is over for now, members spoke up at the Ottawa City Commission meeting last night.
